Expect more rain through most of a region that's already been thoroughly drenched. South Florida's Thursday forecast calls for showers and thunderstorms in most of the area, especially in the afternoon. The high will be near 87 and the chance of precipitation will be 60 percent.

Strong rip currents also will continue into the weekend due to persistent easterly winds, the National Weather Service said late Wednesday.
